For the pardoning
of former Arizona Sherrif Joe Arpaio
Donald Trump
apologizes to the country
for the insensitive timing
of the act
inasmuch as it did not make
for good television.
Says the president
who did away with Obama's regulation
that would have required planners
to create a provision of infrastructure
for increasingly strong storms
and thereby mitigate their damage
“Actually in the middle of a hurricane
even though it was a Friday evening
I assumed the ratings
would be far higher
than they were normally.”
